Very good article on the *uburn HBO special

  • This is very spot on IMO.

  • The death penalty is becoming more likely. The people want it and its been too long since its been passed down. Auburn may get hammered while everyone else gets a slap on the wrist.

  • The SEC would have to add another school. Would probably expand to 14 or 16 when Auburn is allowed to have a football team again.

  • Personally, I think I will enjoy it more if they die the slow & painful way rather than the death penalty. Meaning - loss of scholarships, bowl games, etc. I think it will be more fun to watch them try and compete with less stock in the cupboard and work towards a nongoal at end of season, lol

    I don't think that will happen because cheating is a way of life at AU. They will go back to buying players as soon as the ncaa leaves their doorstep (IF they've ever stopped!). I want to see penalties so harsh they will be booted from the SEC forever. Let them stain some other conference.

  • I guess you are right, maybe just wishful thinking on my part. One thing I didn't agree with at all on that show the other night was the suggestion to start paying college players . I think they get scholarships worth 200,000 to 300,000 & if they allow schools to give a stipend to players, schools who cheat will always pay them more under the table. There is no way to put an end to cheating.

    I don't think you will see the death penalty on a new case. AU has not been on probations since 92. If they are put on probation, repeat the same acts over and over again, while on probation (like SMU) then it will happen. Remember SMU got the death penalty for cheating after probation was handed down. They were hit with probation approx 3 times in 5 or 6 years.JMHO

    With an investigation ongoing with the HBO 4, Newton and Reed-Robinson we have cheating going back every year for awhile. If rumors can be believed and more is coming out its going to be hard for them to not get the death penalty.

    I doubt it happens and I'm not 100% sold that it exist but if that "black book" finds its way into the medias hands then its lights out.

  • I do not want to see AU booted from the SEC or receive the death penalty.......it's too good of a rivalry for us to lose that way. However, I would not mind something along the lines of what USCw got, maybe even a little more harsh, and a good scare by SACS.

  • Well, the NCAA isn't exactly the best organization when it comes to even being consistent with itself. Comes down on Alabama for the textbook stuff, which we were 100% honest about. Ohio St. has players who THEY KNOW have done stuff illegally, but oh wait let's let them play in a bowl game...Auburn, I'm not even going to start in on them. Point is, I think a lot of the coaches and boosters at big schools with big wallets think like high school and college males. They think they are invincible. Until they are caught and busted, they are not going to change their ways.

  • I believe Auburn will be the sacrificial lamb in this case with LSU and tOSU getting a slap on the wrist. If auburn gets hammered in the worst way a lot of these schools will learn by example

    It wouldn't bother me one bit if Auburn got booted from the SEC. Alabama can live without them but Auburn can't live without Alabama. It's the only thing they can hang their hats on. Alabama would do just fine and probably thrive without them. When they beat us it looks bad for us but when we beat them it's like "So what, you were supposed to beat them" type attitude from fans and media. I would gladly trade Auburn for Texas A&M. As for receiving the Death Penalty, read their message boards. All they want is for Alabama to get the DP so I wish the same on them. The rivalry has gotten to the point I hope anything and everything happens to them. They're a dirty, corrupt institution and they deserve whatever comes their way.

    I don't want them booted, or the death penalty. I want them hammered like Sodom and Gomorrah!!!! I want the cheatingest program exposed to the world. I want the boogs to live through a decade of shame and defeat!!! To feel the pain/shame when they go to the grocery store, bar, church, the tee ball game! I want them to endure it all !!!
    What.... too much???ninja
